What do you collect? Booze. Mostly whisky/whiskey, surprisingly. Tequila is up there but all of the good stuff is in the States or Alberta (when I go home to the East Kootenays I fly into Calgary).
Favourite thing about your city? The diversity of all of the different neighbourhoods and the accessibility of goods and services. I can grab kimchi in Koreatown, local beer 2 blocks from my house and go to a Jay’s game throughout the summer. Toronto is a lot of fun.
What was the last photo that you took? Hahaha it’s a selfie of me and a great friend and mentor from last night. It was definitely taken after last call.

Any claims to fame? I was the captain of my high school volleyball team.
